This is my approach...

I offer a bespoke service to my clients, depending on their needs and requirements. As an organisational consultant, there is no one-size-fits-all product; instead, a tailored and personal approach is best to meet the specific circumstances of each client.

I use a systems-psychodynamic process with my clients, which enables me to delve deeper to uncover the heart of the issue and get below the surface - to the root of the presenting problem.

What is a systems-psychodynamic approach?

Systems-psychodynamic is a theory which can be applied to change and development within organisations. It’s a way of thinking that brings together the system, or the framework and structure – including its processes, mission, and division of labour – and the psychodynamic, or the people and the emotions – including the known and unknown motivations, any frictions, and how challenges are resolved.

This approach seeks to understand how people affect systems and systems affect people within an organisation, then use that understanding to enact positive and lasting change.

What can you expect from working with me?

A dynamic, supportive and enlightening collaboration. My ethos is not to simply come into your organisation and tell you what to do, but to come into your organisation, ask questions, listen to the responses and ask more questions.

While every client engagement is bespoke, there is a rough outline most engagements typically follow:

1: Contracting & Design

Together, we create a proposed design for the consultation, including the proposed schedule of works and any deliverables.

2: Discovery

The next stage is data gathering, which involves one-to-one meetings, group sessions, observing work in progress, and questionnaires to get a sense of the culture of your organisation and where the authority sits.

3: Review

Based on this data, I’ll share my hypothesis(es) and test it/them, then we’ll co-design an intervention.

4: Intervention

During the intervention stage, there will be group work, individual coaching (particularly with leaders), facilitated co-worker groups, away days and workshops. Throughout all these activities I'll be pushing to get people interacting in new ways, encouraging difficult conversations and being mindful of the power dynamics.

5: Evaluation

We evaluate the intervention - conscious that the agreed outcomes may have changed during the consultation. We will assess what changes have been made and if it’s been helpful.

Once the above steps have been achieved as satisfactorily as possible, if required, we will look to the next steps. The whole process is one of regular feedback, discussion and partnership.

My aim is for you to come away with the necessary tools and strategies to ensure lasting change.

What can you not expect from working with me?

I’m not a therapist, mentor or performance coach; I’m not here to look at the individual. I’m here to look at the organisation as a whole, and how the dynamics within the teams and within the structure behave.

By using a holistic approach to the dynamics present in both systems and people, I’m able to delve deeper and uncover a sustainable route through the challenges.
